Providing Access To Content Via Social Media

Abstract

Provided are methods and systems related to communications between a social media service or provider (e.g., Twitter®, Facebook®) or other resource (e.g., web page) and one or more content providers. In an aspect, provided are methods comprising receiving user input, suggesting one or more user agnostic identifiers for association with an interface element based on the user input, receiving a selection of the one or more user agnostic identifiers, packaging the user input, the interface element, and the selected one or more user agnostic identifiers into a message, and transmitting the message.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving user input;   suggesting one or more user agnostic identifiers for association with an interface element based on the user input;   receiving a selection of the one or more user agnostic identifiers;   packaging the user input, the interface element, and the selected one or more user agnostic identifiers into a message; and   transmitting the message.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user input comprises textual content associated with media content. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the media content comprises one or more of audio and video. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more user agnostic identifiers each comprise an identifier configured to identify one or more instances of the media content. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein suggesting one or more user agnostic identifiers for association with the interface element based on the user input comprises determining one or more keyword matches between the user input and a database of keywords associated with a plurality of user agnostic identifiers. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a user specific identifier is packaged into the message with the user input and the selected one or more user agnostic identifiers. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the user specific identifier is configured to identify a user originating the message. 
     
     
         8 . A method, comprising:
 receiving a search query;   determining search results based on the search query;   determining a user agnostic identifier related to media content based on at least one of the search query and the search results; and   providing the search results with an interface element associated with the user agnostic identifier.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the interface element is a user-selectable button, and wherein the interface element is configured to provide access to a resource. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the resource is configured to provide an option to access an instance of media content relevant to a user based on a time of an interaction with the interface element. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein determining the user agnostic identifier related to the media content based on at least one of the search query and the search results comprises analyzing textual content in at least one of the search query and the search results. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the interface element is configured to provide the user agnostic identifier and user information to a content provider in response to an interaction with the interface element by a user. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the user information comprises a user specific identifier associated with the user, and wherein the interface element is configured to associate the user specific identifier with the user agnostic identifier in response to the interaction. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the search query is received from a social media page. 
     
     
         15 . A method, comprising:
 receiving a message comprising a first user specific identifier;   determining a user agnostic identifier based on the message;   providing the message and an interface element associated with the user agnostic identifier;   receiving an interaction with the interface element;   generating a request identifier based on the first user specific identifier, the user agnostic identifier, and a second user specific identifier; and   transmitting the request identifier.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first user specific identifier is configured to identify a first user originating the message. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the second user specific identifier is configured to identify a second user receiving the message. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the user agnostic identifier comprises an identifier configured to identify media content. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the interface element comprises a user-selectable button. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the request identifier is transmitted with time information indicative of a time the interaction with the interface element was received.
